– K.B., age 46

Ryan has been the only person in this world who has been able to convince me to like exercising—truly something I never thought would happen! In the 2+ years that I’ve been training with Ryan my weight has gone down significantly, I have muscles I’ve never seen on my middle-aged body before, and I can fit into clothes that I hadn’t dared to try on in years. But beyond the physical benefits, he has taught me a lot: that we all are athletes in some way, that I can always do more than I think I can (even if burpees are involved), and that a friend who challenges you to push yourself is the best kind of friend there is.
